The Great Wave of Kanagawa

/My response to an artwork./

This is The Great Wave Of Kanagawa by: Hokusai

This artwork show in the whites of the waves that it is fierce and rough, and the way the artist put the boats on the water. So you can just compare the size of the waves to those little boats, it emphasizes how dangerous waters are. How the land is in the back mocking the men on the boat and how the colors of the sky set the wary mood. The water is smooth up to the end of the whites, showing how as soon as it touches you, you will not be safe. The waves could swallow all the boat so easily. The artwork looked at from afar, in my opinion looks like the page was evenly divided between the waters space in the art and the sky's, so to me I feel as if it is telling us we will always be stuck between two things bigger and greater than us. We small humans, stuck in the midst of things that could easily over power us. The water, and the sky, both can look peacefully and yet easily turn to something deadly, and in such moments, there usually isn't much we can do.

Je t'aime Anime. /My Interest/

Anime is something I've always had a thing for since middle school. It started small, watching Naruto after school on television. It then escalated to watching different animes online, drawing anime, watching animated music videos on youtube (amv), making my own amvs, then it went as far as any anime lover could go, I began going to conventions aka cons. Anime is something I just find fascinating. Its perfect. The people, their hair, clothes, faces, bodies. And its animation. I just simply adore how there are people who can make just a simple drawing have emotion, personalities, and move fluidly. In some animes the color is rich, and I love to loose myself watching it, almost as how I get reading a good book, or watching a good movie. You may not show the same interest and thats okay. Every body likes different things, for all I know you may read this and look at what I show you and just think I'm a weirdo or dork, and thats okay. I just want to attempt to show you what inspires me and maybe get you to see how anime is an amazing art in my opinion. It is impossible to get you to see through my eyes, but I'll try.
Below is a link to an anime convention I've yet to go to but is one on my list, it is truly amazing. And those who dress up are also. Going to conventions you aren't judged, your just there to make a million new friends who have the same goal as you, to have fun. Also the fact your at a convention for anime you always have something to talk about to break the ice.

Below is a link to a youtube video, one that this boy posted, he has many up of conventions, yet he adds his own twist to each one. Music, and other effects, It would be worth the watch and the video is only as long as the song.

Inspiration: A friend before

This is a youtube video I came across years ago. Its always been a favorite of mine to go and watch. The art is beautiful and sweet, something I never tire of watching. I hope you enjoy it, because I know you’ll watch it:) because thats how amazing you all are. It is only under 3 minutes, so afterwards you can think deeply about the video or go back to your life. But I honestly think the thoughtfulness that went into this video is worth the watch. The video is about a girl and a boy separated by an unbreakable glass.

This artist is someone who inspires me and shows me that you can make emotional packed short videos with just a little hard work. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did. (Ending may not be liked by all viewers)
